The uproar of Moebius' members filled the small warehouse. Mikey stood up silently walking towards the boxer, a degrading look was passed to Mikey from him.

"Was that all you had!? I wanna see what that pretty thing does!" He pointed to Aiko, she sighed immediately knowing that he was dead. 

Swiftly and so fast you could hardly see Mikey collided his food with the side of Osanai's face, it knocked out the boy, Draken stood out to face the Moebius members who stood in silent shock.

"You will all be under the Tokyo Manji gang's control now. Unless you wanna die, of course." He said his lips curling into a sinister grin, the Moebius gang stayed quiet their eyes trained on their knocked out leader.

Aiko joined the three leaving Peh, Pah, Takemitchy and Osanai behind them. Unknown to Mikey and Aiko, Osanai got up from behind them picking up a broken bottle. Before he could do anything Draken turned around and punched him in the face, knocking him out another time.

"Anyone want to try anything?!?" Draken roared, Osanai under his arm, from the distance police sirens came, the Moebius members getting spooked and beginning to run off.

"Hey!" Aiko called out, "Were you coward seriously considering leaving without Osanai here!"

There was panicked murmurs before a few people walked toward them, before they could take the boxer though, Pah came from behind them and inserted a knife into the mans chest. 

"Pah! What are you doing!" Draken laid Osanai down, placing his fingers on his neck to check for a pulse. Mikey and Aiko stood side by side, their eyes wide in shock.

"He's dead."

"Pah, what the fuck!?" Aiko shouted before grabbing his arm, " Come on, we have to go!"

Pah stayed still, his head hung low as the Moebius members fled. "Pah! Come on!" Now it was Mikey, "We'll sort this out soon!"

Draken was not dumb nor was he blinded by a fake reality and he realized almost immediately that Pah was not going to come with them, and it was also evident that Mikey and Aiko were not going to leave him.

"I'm going to turn myself in." Pah turned to face them all, tears swelling in his eyes he smiled.

"No! Pah, no!"

"It's okay."

"Pah!" Peh shouted adding to the shouts.

"Pah, lets go!" 

"PAH COME ON!"

"WE CAN FIX THIS, COME WITH US!" 

Draken slung the two over his shoulders his arms securing them he ran out the back of the warehouse, Peh and Takemitchy behind him.

"PAH, PLEASE! PLEASE!" Aiko shouted, her view of Pah being obstructed by buildings. "Pah..."

From the powerful punch earlier, Takemitchy dropped to the ground losing consciousness.

"Peh, pick him up!"

It was evident that Aiko was different to her close friends, but everyone else in the gang was surprised at her seemingly normal state to them, they shook off the purple bags under her eyes, didn't notice her slightly puffed eyes which worsened every day.

It wasn't helping that after Pah was arrested and Takemitchy passed out, Draken and Mikey had gotten in an argument which exhausted Aiko even more, no matter how much she asked though, they wouldn't tell her what the argument was about.

She sat next to Baji and Chifuyu at their house eating breakfast.

"Seriously they are like a bunch of two year old's in a fight," She complained about Draken and Mikey as Kuma and Peke J cuddled together under the table. "All they do is shit talk each other behind the others back and then tell me to stop hanging out with the other."

"Who thought our leaders would be actual babies." Chifuyu said as he shoveled cereal into his mouth.

"Imagine growing up with them." Baji replied, eating his toast.

"Baji watch out those toast crumbs might get stuck in your hair. That would be gross wouldn't it? Why don't you just cut it off."

"Why do you always fucking insult my hair you dick. I'm not cutting it off so piss off, fucking bitch."

"I think when someone insults Baji's hair you get the longest line of swear words you ever heard come from his mouth."

"Yep, but seriously, disgusting crumbs are getting in your hair."

---

"Baji, would you shut your loud mouth for one second damn." Aiko spoke as they sat on the floor while a stray cat with a few kittens following it jumped into the room before eating the food they had left on the desk with its kittens.

"Why do all women love me except you? How do you resist my irresistible charms?"

Chifuyu looked and Aiko looked at each other with the same look.

"You do not have any irresistible charms anyways. Also you're the most annoying guy I ever met, that's why I like Chifu more."

Chifuyu lightly laughed while Baji gasped, "What the hell? Do I have to punch Chifuyu? But we've been friends for ever!?"

"I'm kidding jeez, you looked like you were about to cry on the spot. I love you both the same."

"Aiko it's okay, you can say who's your favorite, Baji promises not to cry."

"What is this? Hate on Baji club?"

She fell asleep on their sofa. She was more then glad she came round, both of them managed to make her forget for a while, about Pah, about Mikey and Draken and more for the day. They didn't move her, due to the face they were scared she would wake up from the only sleep she had in days.

"Draken and Mikey need to just suck it up and get along because they aren't even realizing what they are both doing to her." Baji sat infront of the sofa Aiko was on to watch the Tv, along with Chifuyu.

"I know. I'm glad we were able to help her for a bit today though and get her mind off things."

"So am I. I care about her a lot. I've been friends with her for ever now, and when her brothers died she was so, so unwell. Then that bitch mother threw her out and she lived here for a while. But she still kept on smiling infront of everyone else and acted like everything was fine,"

"She knows how to hide sadness so well it's sad itself."
